Taking from our little bottom of the sea friend, Mr. Spongebob Squarepants, I have decided to use this word to let loose my frustration on society - just those freaking idiots that can not learn how to use a turning lane.
I mean come on! What is the point of having the turning lane if people don’t plan to use it to turn? There is one location this happens at a lot as I am driving and one day someone is gonna get their ass hit.
I drive the highway in the AM into my office and the off ramp I use goes directly into the road to continue driving - there is no stop or yield. The downfall of this is that there are several locations right off the highway this road services with a turning lane for drivers to move into. Do you think they actually use it? Heck no!
This morning, on my way in, another smart driver that I am following goes on the off ramp, follows it around and then I would say at least a half mile after this conversion decided to stop in the driving lane and then proceeds into the turning lane to turn. What is up with that? Do drivers like this understand what a turning lane is for?
If you plan to move into the turning lane, use your signal, let others know this is happening, then move into the lane, slowing down or stopping to make your turn. DON’T STOP IN THE DRIVING LANE! Um, why? Well, it is called an ACCIDENT!
Dumbass! Barnacles!

They are not decoration for those behind you. I could care less how fast or how slow the light blinks, I don’t want to see it, so turn it off!
That is one of the most annoying things ever. Now, every once in a while there is the person that genuinely forgets to turn it off, but usually the light blinking furiously in front of me is from someone that does it all the time - a repeat offender!
Why is it annoying? I consider it a hazard. Laugh if you want, but think about it. The person driving in front of you has their signal on. Do they want to change lanes? Are they going to be turning? Since you never see break lights with the signal, should you worry they are going to slam on their breaks at the last minute?
This one person’s reaction to NOT turning off their signal makes wanderers out of everyone behind them. Slowing down, stopping, or letting them over - all valid reactions of the people behind the non-turning-off-turn-signal.
Even more annoying then the non-turning-off-turn-signal person is the one that NEVER uses the turn signal. It is right by your hand when you are driving anyway, use it! It is NOT a difficult tool to use - push up or push down - simple.
Nothing more irritating then someone weaving in front of you or better yet, stopping suddenly to turn, but because I had no clue, I almost rear end the person and then in turn I almost get smacked by the car behind me.
Use your turn signal just turn it off when you’re done!
